Truth is I don't listen to much guitar-centric music these days though I play guitar every day. Much of the time I pour copious amounts of big band and swing music into my ears. I can be found listening to Scottish and Irish traditional music quite frequently too. I'm taken to flights of brief obsession where I'll play a certain artist or album for a week at a time. | | Sounds Like | lots of chords
